Valspar

Elliott Bay

P035

Elliott Bay is a light gray-blue with a foggy coastal character. A gray-blue undertone keeps the coastal read quiet. The color can cover a bedroom, bath, or quiet office without becoming bright blue.

It is near the middle-light range, so dim rooms may make it feel flatter. Bring in clean white trim or driftwood-toned floors for balance. Warm metals keep the palette from looking too cold.

Elliott Bay in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
